1. Josh McCown. McCown is most experienced option. He’s been in the league 11 years. He’s also played in 54 contests. McCown simply isn’t a strong backup option; he’s potentially a future starter in Chicago.

2. Josh Freeman. The Vikings’ offense under the direction of Freeman looked awful during his one start. It was one opportunity after Freeman had only been on the roster for two weeks and was rushed into the lineup. Freeman is still a young and talented QB. It’s up to the Vikings to get the most out of his talent.

Freeman played very well in stretches during his time in Tampa Bay. A former first round pick, Freeman is athletic and possesses a strong arm. He’s played in 61 games at the tender age of 25.

The Vikings need to find out if Freeman is the future of the franchise. After a few more weeks of becoming acclimated to his current team, Freeman should play better once he’s actually back on the field.

Vikes coach Leslie Frazier says doesn't regret signing Josh Freeman. No decision on starter. Time to find out about their $2M investment?

3. Scott Tolzien. Tolzien was on the Packers’ practice squad two weeks ago. He was signed to the active roster after Aaron Rodgers was injured. He was forced into the lineup when Seneca Wallace was hurt.

Tolzien hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire since he was called upon to lead the offense. He’s 48-of-73 passing with a touchdown and five interceptions.

The Packers’ third-string QB was never supposed to start this year. He’s still a young player with upside, but he doesn’t appear ready for NFL action. The good thing is that Rodgers should be able to return Thanksgiving day against the Lions.

McCarthy-For Aaron Rodgers-I don't make medical decisions. We know he wants to return as soon as he can, when he can, that's when it happens
